Working Lunch: What the 2017 election results mean for restaurant operators

The Align crew weigh in on how the outcome will affect policies

Nov 10, 2017

The results of Tuesday’s elections include some bad outcomes for operators in specific states and around the country. The Align crew discusses what the results mean for the policies – tax reform, health care, minimum wage and others – restaurants and retailers have been supporting and the ones they thought they could avoid with Republican majorities.

The team also shares this week’s legislative scorecard and a new development from Google that will disrupt the way restaurants handle wait times and how customers find out about them.
